THE CITY MIsREPRESENTED.

If it were in the power Of the people Of this
city to keep Senators Murphy and Plunkitt and
a few other Democratic representatives away
from Albany, it would be a great public gain
As it Is now, these men apparently do nothing
except for the injury Of the people they pretend
10 represent. II not seeking to repeal or nullify
the Civil Service law, or to carry out a partisan
scheme, they can generally 10 found working
in some private interest at the expense Of the
city. They too often succeed because their
measures only affect the city, and legislators
from other parts of the State think that IL
New-York does not want such Legislation it
should not elect such representatives. This is
a mistaken view, but the city is not blamccss.
One of Mr.. Murphy's latest schemes Is that
Of securing exemption from taxation for all
asylums, hospitals and charitable institutions,
and the FREQ use Of Croton water. He would
carry this so far as to exempt the property
owned by them. Many of these so-caIled char
liable institutions are mere money-naking en-
terprises. Tho city Is compelled to pay SO
much a week for the maintenance Of all children
committed to them The amount is not only
sufficient to pay for the care of these children.
but in many cases it affords a profit This
was shown in report to the municipal author
tiles not long ago explaining the interest such
men as Crowley had in getting up these nsttn-
tons. actually soliciting parents to have their
children committed TO them. The city has no
control over them, but under mandatory laws

CHOICE OF OCCTPATION

One Of the points touched by Mrs Campbell
in to-day's TRIBUNE is the influence Of pref
ercncc in deciding the occupations of many
worlingwomen. The consideration is not I'M
important and the character of the motives
which goyen this selection throws light OH sever
al otherwise dark features in the labor prob
lem. Many girls and women choose occupa-
tons which pay poorly, and in which there is
no prospect Of advancement, because they arc
able to retain n certain measure Of independ-
cnce and sometimes also scmblancc OF that
phantom gcntlity, regard for which is one Of
the most mischicvous decisions in the life Of
the poor. And not only in the life of the poor.
The main cause Of the hypocrisics the shams.
the shoddes. the false prctcnccs, the ridiculous
rivalrcs which rend and torment society is
the desire to he thought better than we are.
richer than VIC arc, more popular than we are.
OF course. this mastcr-vicw is as old as civil
ization. perhaps as old as humanity; but the
fact that its influence remains so constant not
outstanding all our alleged progress, ought to
teach us greater modcsty in estimating the cx-
tent Of our growth, and may well suggest
doubts rs to the gcnuincncss and value Of much

CLIFTON or UOMEN.
Substantial progress has been made during
the last few years in tho cause Of female cdu-
cation. The favor with which intelligent pub

Education is merely an essential means TO this

reform has not been general. A careful stat

the way Of sending young women to college
In every civilized country notable strides have
been made in the extension to them of first
class advantages. Colleges devoted purely 10
female education arc rapidly increasing and
arc financially well supported. The German
universities arc generally open to them. In
France the reform has received sucb nm i'm
petus that even agricultural and mechanical
schools for girls have been recently started.
A magnificent female university at Moscow
has been arranged for and will soon be built.
while here IN America young women are ac

MR. co1ENIyS lDuIRIBLE p1ly


President Coleman. of the Tax Department.
has suggested an excellent plan for providing
the city with two new armOrics He proposes
that the useless and unsightly reservoirs front
ing on Fifth-avc, and extending from Fortieth
TO Forty-second ST., lie torn down, and that the
splendid granite blocks Of which they are built
lie employed in constructing the armoncs.
These are to he placed at the Sixth ave. end of
Bryant Park. which is the opcn space at the
rear Of the reservoirs. The advantages Of this
plan arc numerous, and we can discover no OBJ
lection 20 it worth considering
The armorics must bc built somewhere. Any
desirable location for them would cost the city
a large sum Of money. Here the land is en-
tircy available. II already belongs to the city
and offers n far Letter site for the amorics
than could possibly lie secured by purchase.
The reservoirs, long since rendered yaluclcss.
arc an cyesorc. The material Of which they
are built is the finest obtainablc, and precisely
what is needed for use in an amory. There
would bc comparatively little expense attending
It's removal TO the other end Of The block. far
less, in fact, than would lie incident TO the
transportation Of material TO any other site
that might lie selected II the reservoir stones
were used in constructing the new municipal
buildings. it would cost at least 100000
to cart them away.
Our ncighbor " The World,' protests against
Mr.. Colcman's plan because the amorics would
occupy part Of the present park. This might
he a ground OF objection but for the fact that
the space now occupied 10y the reservoirs could
bc entirely devoted TO pleasure ground. there
by making the park twice as large us it now is
and yet leaving space enough for the armorics.
Still other improvements would accrue to the
park It's entrance would lie on fifth-ayc.
and il could be bcautiGed and rendered an cx-
ccptionalIy delightful rcsting-placc. The noisy
and ugly elevated railroad wonld lie shut out
by the armory buildings. Trade In that yicin-
ity would receive stimulus from the presence
Of two largo regiments, we'll placed IL times OF
peril for effective and quick service Mr. Cole
man deserves credit for giving the city 50
